Summary
Updated libcap-ng packages fix CVE-2014-3215
Details

Updated libcap-ng packages fix security vulnerability:

capng_lock() in libcap-ng before 0.7.4 sets securebits in an attempt to prevent regaining capabilities using setuid-root programs. This allows a user to run setuid programs, such as seunshare from policycoreutils, as uid 0 but without capabilities, which is potentially dangerous (CVE-2014-3215).
